Jakisch subscribed $50, Ray Chill $25, Geo.A. Walther $15 and others sums ranging from $5 to $10. The court also read and filed a petition for a change of the Coles Creek road, on the land of the Duf-ner estate, in Roark township, said petition being signed by Jul. Rue-diger, Herm. Kuhlmann and oth ers, the petition being accompan ied by a subscription of $179.50. Paul and Adolph Keller, of Fred ericksburg, presented a petition for a change of public road in Richland township, beginning on the Tegeler road, near where same intersects with the Hermann and Fredrioksburg road. The change contemplated is on the lands of Paul Keller and Chr. Johnson. The petition has forty-six signers. Christ C. Johnson and twenty-two other land owners filed a remonstrance to this petition. ' The remonstrance is based on the alleged grounds that the change Is unnec essary ; because rhe present road bed along the river is far better than the proposed new road bed; because the location of the proposed change Is over land lying far lower than the present location along the river bank, it being low and swamp land; because the ohange would divide C. C. Johnson's land Into two parts"; because the change wonld entail a large expense on the oounty. ' John H. Biele, Ferd. L. Bock, Aue. F. Kottwitz, Hy. G. Goers, Wm. O. Kottwitz, J. J. Brandhorst and fifteen others petitioned the oourt for a new public road in Clay township between Bland and Old Woollam. .The consideration of this petition was postponed to the next regular term of court.
